Why A GlowShift Oil Temperature Gauge Is Important
Help keep your engine in optimal condition by installing an oil temperature gauge. Oil is a vital part of your vehicle as it runs through the engine to keep the moving components lubricated so they can move past each other without generating too much friction. As the temperature of your engine increases, the oil becomes thinner and thinner. If the engine continues to run above the normal temperature for extended periods, your engine could be in danger as the oil becomes too thin to lubricate the moving parts properly. To avoid the risk of serious damage to your engine, install a 52mm GlowShift Oil Temperature Gauge to keep a steady eye on the temperature. This gauge utilizes the included 1/8-27 NPT Electronic Temperature Sensor to accurately provide the temp of your motor oil.
Benefits of GlowShift Truck and Car Oil Temperature Gauges
Having an oil temp gauge in place monitors your oil temperature levels to make sure levels are where they should be, and will alert you if they are running too hot. Ultimately, if your car or truck’s oil temperature isn’t completely warmed up or is overheating, that issue will have a negative impact on your vehicle as well. GlowShift Oil temperature gauges are designed so that you will be able to detect these types of issues and make the proper corrections. The analog version of the oil temp gauge reads from 100° - 300° Fahrenheit, the digital version reads from 68° - 302° Fahrenheit, and the MaxTow version reads from 100° - 280° Fahrenheit. GlowShift Celsius Oil Temp Gauges read from 40° - 150° Celsius.
What's Included with GlowShift Oil Temp Gauges for Cars and Trucks
Each oil temperature gauge kit comes with everything you need for installation. In addition to these 2-1/16” (52mm) aftermarket gauges, you’ll also receive a 1/8-27 NPT Temperature Sensor. Wiring kits include a Sensor Wire Harness and a Power Harness. There is also a mounting bracket with mounting hardware if you choose to install the gauge without a gauge pod. The included gauge visor will help block out any sun glare while you’re taking readings. And the installation instructions provided will walk you through the entire process every step of the way.
What Is the Difference Between an Oil Temperature Gauge and a Coolant Temperature Gauge?
GlowShift oil temp gauges monitor the temperature of the oil in your car or truck’s engine. Coolant temperature gauges, also called water temp gauges, monitor the temperature of your engine’s coolant fluid.
What Tools are Required to Install an Oil Temperature Gauge?
To install a GlowShift oil temperature gauge, a standard drill and tool kit will be all you’ll need. The process involves securing the 1/8-27 NPT oil temp sender, running the sensor and power wires from the gauge to their sources, and securing the gauge with mounting hardware.
Are There Specific Oil Temp Gauges for Diesel and Gasoline Engines?
You can add GlowShift oil temperature gauges to virtually any gas or diesel application. The difference will be establishing the optimal oil temperature for your car or truck’s engine. GlowShift oil temp gauges will have you covered with accurate readings and feedback.
What Is the Difference Between Digital and Analog Oil Temp Gauges?
GlowShift analog oil temperature gauges read from 100° to 300° Fahrenheit, and digital versions read from 68° to 302° Fahrenheit. Otherwise it’s a matter of determining the right look for your specific car or truck!
